Voided as per Rules On occasions, we reserve the right to void bets if circumstances behind an event or market change, e. Event has already started On a small number of occasions, a market may be inadvertently 'left up' when a result has already been determined or an event has started.

Also common, though not quite as regular, is the abandonment of specific events for reasons other than adverse weather. Crowd trouble is one such element, with a number of football games in the past seeing the team with the troublemaking fans forfeit the game by an automatic scoreline. A first-scorer bet on a team sport will also be void if a player is backed to score first, but they are an unused substitute at the time the first goal being scored.
This is just one example of many, and every worthwhile bookmaker in existence will have sport-specific scenarios where a bet will be voided. Rarer, but not unheard of, are situations where the match rules are changed in such a way that compromises the integrity of the bet. A cricket match going to reduced overs would be one example of this, as would a change of surface in any sports with a variance of such e.
Again, importance is placed on the sport-specific policies operated by the bookmaker. Cricket is a prime example of this, whereby limited overs matches that are rained off — or otherwise abandoned through no fault of either team — can employ the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
Here the result is declared through a calculation, based on the run rate attained by a chasing team the team batting second at the time of postponement. It becomes somewhat more complicated if you placed, say, a treble within a four-fold acca.
However, if one leg has already prevailed, this can cause further complications. In general, every worthwhile bookmaker will have software designed to address the more complex scenarios , but you should always be familiar with the policies operated by the bookmaker. Success in three out of the four surviving legs is still not enough for a compensatory free bet.
If a match is cancelled, bet will refund the stake in full. If a match is postponed , it will be considered as a non-runner.
The only exception to this is if the match is played within the same week of its original date, based on a week ending on Sunday. If a weekend match was postponed until the following Monday, the bet will stand.
If a match is abandoned before it can be completed, the bet is void. If an event is cancelled, the stake for any cancelled bets will be refunded in full by Unibet.
Events that do not resume or commence within 12 hours of the originally scheduled start time will be cancelled. As standard, accumulators are settled based on the surviving legs. All bets placed on abandoned matches will stand, but only if they have already been won or lost by the time the match is abandoned. In many cases the operators are happy to refund free bets but unlike cash they may not have an automated system to do so.
Therefore getting in touch will result in you getting another free bet nine times out of ten. The reality is that no rules on the matter are set in stone. Those that refuse to reissue a free bet are almost certainly going to be awkward in any future encounters, whereas those that are happy to give you another one obvious value your business and will want to please you.
If your free bet is open to any sports and you place it on an event that is then made void it is almost a certainty that a betting company will give you another one, even if you have to ask. Free bets that are restricted can be an issue.
If the game you place your free bet on or the market you backed is voided then in these cases you may not get another free bet. Even in these circumstances, however, from personal experience I have found in many cases the operator will still give you another free bet on the basis that they want to keep your custom.
